It's absolutely bizarre what some marketing men come up with isn't it.And the naivety of some people. I mean how could anyone imagine Yorkshire folk paying money for less alcohol...??
Absolutely! I won't even buy decaf coffee!
This is as stout as it gets for me these days.
Great pics of two of my favourite York pubs I'm just having a couple of pints of Kirkstall Virtuous in The Social in Leeds, on my way home

Have a great weekend in York David
A pint of Rudgate Brewery's Ruby Mild 4.4%. One of my favourite ales
In the Blue Bell pub in York.
Then I pootled over to the Ackhorne pub and partook of a pint or two of Acorn Brewery's Old Moor Porter 4.4%.
I'm not sure exactly when but its been several years, probably when they changed to a twist top bottle. When I was a kid and got one, I would use my victorinox camping model to open them. That was my first real knife.
I like the blackboard sign outside that pub! Agree with all of the statements (of intent)
Regards, Will

It's an absolutely great pub Will, incredible unspoiled interior, they last had a re-fit in 1903!

A very tasty pint, I thought, this, particularly in the hot weather

Absolutely! You'll notice the other sign saying "No Groups". There's also other signs inside reminding all patrons that cellphone calls must be taken outside. The old landlord who has since left, (a chap called Jim) banned cellphones completely. I remember a few years ago sitting down with my pint. I took my phone out my pocket (to actually turn it off) and Jim walks past and audibly tuts at me
This is the back room. The newest things in here are the custom Blue Bell cushions. Oh and the gas fire, which replaced the real fire in 1980something...??
Hope everyone has a great weekend

If he banned mobile phones then that by default excludes 97% of women who are permanently bonded to their 'device' 24/7 it seems
Well this stuff comes in 4 packs of 330ml cans which I've drank over about 4 hours. It's only 2.8%. Thought I'd try it again as it came up in the lambfoot thread a few days ago. But after drinking each can I've come on with a mind-splitting headache which has taken about half-an-hour to subside...
Where's the point? And what's that object on the can? Looks like an old fashioned fire extinguisher!
Must be the chemicals they dose it up with, tasted foul too.
